| Administrative / biographical background: |
The Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission (AEBC) was set up in June 2000 following a review in 1999 by the Cabinet Office and the Office of Science & Technology of the Advisory and Regulatory framework for Biotechnology. Its remit was to provide the UK Government and Devolved Administrations with independent, strategic advice on developments in biotechnology and their implications for agriculture and the environment. The AEBC reported jointly to the Secretary of State for Environment Food and Rural Affairs and the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and worked alongside the Human Genetics Commission (HGC) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA). Following an independent review of the AEBC, the Commission was wound up at the end of April 2005. |
